Hi Alexander, I have just seen 4 very nice pens....I prefer the shape of your Acrylic and Coriander to the wooden one, but I think you already know that......
Great start, well done:thumbs::thumbs:

I have to say I do prefer working corian and acrylic so far.....but maybe a few more wood ones will teach me to like wood too.

I think I've looked at the pens you've posted today in the reverse order to how you posted them. As Peter says, if you can analyse and critique your own work, you are on the road to success. We all had to start somewhere and I think your first wooden pen is probably better than my first wooden pen.

Don't knock your self Alexander.

I agree the acrylic and Corian are really good firsts..

The wooden one is a learning curve, and believe me the wooden ones are better looking in my view. They are also liked more bacause of the plastic issues currently on people's mind. That's my experience..
